Essendon passed 70,000 yesterday according to the club. Apparently +6,000 Vs same time year ago. Chasing 90,000. Achievement of target will be determined by on field results.

An exciting initiative being launched later this week…

As promised here last week.. Essendon giving away $150,000 to a lucky 2022 member. Also other prizes / recognition for other members.

And why not, they've been giving away way more than that to Dylan Shiel each year just for turning up


Joking mate, great initiative by the club.

Wow, Dees up a full 33%. Massive jump.

 

[kreglze]

The suns should never have been brought into existence. The AFL of course will never admit they got it massively wrong. The spreading of the AFL word is going gangbusters in terms of Qldrs getting into Aussie rules but it's not translating to suns memberships. The suns being a massive sloppy pile of shit in terms of onfield success doesn't help. Fold the club and have those suns members come back to The Lions. Turn Metricon into The Lions 2nd home ground, given that the Bears started there it basically is anyway. It's the only solution.

Funny thing personally for me was I was never a Lions member from the start, and if the Suns folded tomorrow there is no chance I would be running to the Lions. I would actually be interested to know how many Suns members are former Lions members.

As far as the membership number goes, we broke our record with over 19k last year, so who knows if we show a bit more a few more might jump on. Will wait to the end of the year before analysing our membership numbers.

I believe the initial number of people who jumped ship was quoted at something over 3k.

Fans seem to have embraced the rebuild but not sold on noble as a coach

Yes. However the Roos, like most clubs lock in majority of their memberships prior to season starting. Therefore much less impact if season starts poorly. Still strong growth however.

2019 = 2 (Rich vs Geel = 94,423 // Geel vs Coll = 93,436)


1956 = Not sure why the 1956 finals crowds were so high. Potentially it was the excitement of the upcoming Olympic Games in Melbourne.

1962-1973 = Golden era of finals crowds. This skews the Saints in the stats as they were a good side under Allan Jeans in the late 60s/early 70s. Finals started to be played more regularly at Waverley from the mid-70s onwards.

1978 and 1980 = The height of the Carlton vs Collingwood rivalry.

1990 = The only 90,000+ crowd between 1981-2006. The MCG underwent major redevelopments in the early 1990s for the Cricket World Cup and the mid-2000s for the Commonwealth Games.

2007 and 2010 = Biggest non-GF crowds in the finals since 1973 involving the same two clubs (Geelong and Collingwood).

2011 = Elimination final between two big Victorian clubs.

2013-2019 = Richmond become a regular fixture in finals. A little reminiscent of the golden era of the 60s and early 70s for finals crowds.

1958 - Melb v Coll got over 99k on Queen's Birthday

1958 - Melb v Coll got over 99k on Queen's Birthday

I know. I was only counting finals crowds (excluding the GF).

Speaking of the 1958 game, I think the record will stand the test of time and never be broken.

Ah ok gotcha

Yeah I agree can't see it being broken unless Collingwood and Essendon are both travelling well at the same time and they sell out Anzac Day.

 

[dave10]

Bombers apparently at 72,000. This time last year 70,200.

Only 5 weeks ago it was +6,000 comparable to 2021 same time. It was on target for 90,000. Shows the impact of a dejected start and early season form. Will struggle to nail 80,000.

Bottom line, fix football and membership will take care of itself. One would think there’s some pressure on Xavier Campbell to get the football department functioning or his position will, and rightfully so come under close scrutiny.

They literally sell out every year but unlike finals or a Grand Final tickets are sold in advance some being part of membership packages that hinder the final attendance.
